Please let us disable animations on PH in general! They are too distracting and too anxiety-inducing.

Pros:

None really, compared to the old version

Cons:

The animations make me jittery. I won't use this extension until I can disable them.

I agree with you, Danny. The GIFs are getting aggressive. They can be very useful for illustrating how a product works, but sometimes they're too flashy, especially when it appears in the new tab.

The update reminded me of: "Behavior is the most important thing about software. It is what users depend on. Users like it when we add behavior (provided it is what they really wanted), but if we change or remove behavior they depend on, they stop trusting us." β€” Working Effectively With Legacy Code by Michael C. Feathers Amazing how a finely working daily-used product can go through such thoughtless radical change that causes an immediate uninstall.

Nothing

Cons:

All

Please give an option to use the old version.

Pros:

None anymore!

Cons:

It's no longer useful as a new tab page. Products are less discoverable than before. It's no longer something I want to use.

Awesome guys, social support for makers!!!!

It's been great to use it so far! My personal favorite feature is the random product one. I would almost separate it into its own plugin with 1 product per tab which would make it easier to spot the description each time πŸ™ƒ I also want to be able to switch between 1 random product of all time vs today.
Ryan Hoover
@zelena thanks, Elena! The "shuffle mode!" is one of my favorite features too. We hope it creates some serendipity and helps resurface cool products from the past.

Congrats. This is awesome @rrhoover. Feature request: Live streaming your work. Like a "Twitch for product development" type of thing. See how other makers are building their projects. Anyway, keep the products coming!
Ryan Hoover
@davepoly by live streaming are you referring to streaming one's work via video? Shipstreams is a great example of this!

Considering this is THE source for product info, and seeing all these negative comments, I'm so surprised this wasn't more thoroughlly tested.

Pros:

Nothing...the old one was better. All my colleagues are mad about the change too. Onto a new new tab extension.

Cons:

It's not the old one, which was better.

I miss the old layout.

Pros:

It used to be great.

Cons:

Now it's not.
